EFFECT OF GROWING LOADSHEDDING ON STUDENTS.
Dear Mr. Adam, recently, there have been an increase in loadshedding which initially was supposed to be a one-time thing but has turned out to be frequent.
This growing loadshedding is affecting students because we don't have electricity to even study and do homeworks, research or class projects.
This has also affected the WiFi as when the electricity is out, the WiFi becomes unstable and downright unusable.
There has also been an increase in discomfort among the students as this has led to sleep disruptions especially as this is done at the height of summer when the air conditioning is most needed.
Please, I want you to bring this problem to the mass media so a solution will be provided. Thank you.
Yours faithfully,
Charlie Adam.
Plain and simple, it means not having to die. The fear and the enigma of death is one of the most ancient and persisting human obsessions, that has been the subject of countless mythological stories and written pieces of literature.
In classic Greek and Roman literature, gods were immortal by definition. But there is also an interesting story about Cumaean Sybil, a priestess who was pursued by Apollo. When he promised to grant her one wish if she would yield to him, she asked to live eternally. But then she changed her mind and refused Apollo, who left her to decay alive, as she didn't ask for eternal youth.
In contemporary literature, there are numerous examples of fascination with the so-called "undead" - vampires, aliens, and other uncanny creatures.
B, contributes to the lines dramatic effect.
